Thread: My DVD store has closed...what to do?

If you have ADSL then you can rent movies through Bigpond. They offer movies in low res or HD for those with differing download speeds.

Cost on average $6 each and they have a wide and varied selection of movies, usually they have on offer about 5 or 6 new movies each week and they have a library of many hundred with old ones dropping off as new ones come on.

It's easy to work out what's a cam and what's a DVD/blurry rip.

Thanks guys but it sounds to me like these online options (other than torrents) are streaming, not download.

Stupid question, but does streaming come with a DTS or HD sound track?

If its a new release then it's usually a TS Cam, , another way you can tell is when the fat lady stands up and her silhouette walks across the bottom of the screen. The movie is is dark or you hear some one coughing or sneezing.
We DVDs come out, yes there are some DVDs, that are ripped and converted to other formats.

Streaming, my son wanted to see a Westcoast match, it wasn't televised, so he found a TV station in the UK that was showing it live, so he streamed it from the UK site, a second or 2 delay and the pic was 8/10

I use a mix of apple TV, quickflix (both online streaming and DVD by post), youtube and ABS Iview.

Happy to advise on setting up any of the above. A smart TV and a home wifi network is necessary though..
